<0> hello
<0> i want to change the settings of the GRUB bootloader but it says that i must have a packet installed to do that
<1> Hetero: just****inggoogleit.com
<0> please tell me the name of that packet
<0> Mohua language!
<1> Hetero: that is a valid url, now use it!
<0> Mohua f*** you
<1> no thanks, you are not my type
<1> i don't get involve with stupid lazy people
<1> s/involve/involved
<2> hellllp
<2> i got question
<2> how can i convert from wmi to mpeg1 or mpeg2 ?
<2> so that i can burn as a vcd
<3> there is no wmi multimedia extension
<2> erk
<2> wmv
<2> sorry
<2> typo
<4> mencoder
<2> randyg__: full command of it please
<4> man mencoder.
<3> google ffmpeg
<4> I don't know of anything other than mplayer that's going to work with windows media files.
<2> anyone use tovid?
<5> randyg__: I believe he wants some type of encoder
<5> not just a player
<4> Isaac-Lew: "<4> mencoder"
<4> mencoder is mplayer's encoder
<6> I am so happy. I thought I'd killed my IBM Model M with a deluge of whisky. Two weeks drying out an a couple of whacks with the back of the hand; works fine - and can still use it to kill burglars.
<5> I think k3b might be able to do it on the fly, if you have the right apps & codecs
<3> AlexC: hope it's not drunk and punching wrong numbers
<5> randyg__: oh ok, I just saw the mplayer part
<7> AlexC: Hungover for a fortnight, eh?
<2> Isaac-Lew: i can burn with k3b and gnomebaker + graveman
<2> but i want to convert my .wmv to mpeg1 first before burning it with k3b etc
<3> bulletz: <4> mencoder
<2> okay mencoder
<3> then don't keep repeating the same question over and over, if you don't like mencoder, you can google for alternatives
<5> bulletz: apparently k3b works if you have mencoder
<5> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=195717
<8> I nearly cried when I plugged it in the next dat and it was typing two chars for every key, eg "e" would give "ed". Oh, and mencoder is very good!
<4> no, mencoder is horrible and awful. it does, however, once you learn to get around the horribleness and awfullness, do the job. heh.
<8> Have a look at ffmpeg too, there's an awful lot you can do with it.
<9> Hi ppl
<7> And round and round we go.
<9> just a little question: to have slackware with the 2.6 kernel i only need the second CD?
<8> Think so; and there is an option during the install to choose another kernel.
<9> ok, so i dont need to get the first cd?
<8> Yes you need the 1st CD to boot
<9> ah ok
<3> estebon: you can simply use the package manager to update the kernel
<10> I could be mistaken . . . but I think the 2.6.x kernel is actually on the third CD.
<8> true!
<9> Installation ISO disc 2 (linux-2.6.13, KDE, KDEI, TEX)
<9> well thanks ppl, see you
<10> Having run Slack with both the 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernel that comes with the 10.2 release, I can say that there's not much tangible difference . . . at least not in my case.
<11> Hi Cognition
<3> Hello
<8> Anyone here using VMWare server? We are using it at work and it rocks: it's great to be able to put a couple of low-load MSSQL servers inside a Linux box...
<12> AlexD: sure but jblack doesnt like me to talk about it because its free but not "free"
<8> Heh, put it down to "Human Remains" (HR). It works well though. For DR we have a dual-dual-core Opteron box with 16GB ram running Gentoo and 20 instances of XP
<12> AlexD: and why not just add db's to an existing mssql server
<8> Oh, yeah, but there is some source available for the player
<12> AlexD: why another server just add dbs to an existing one
<2> ffmpeg -i myfile.wmv -hq -target ntsc-vcd /tmp/vcd.mpg
<2> is that okay?
<4> does ffmpeg read windows media?>
<8> Cancel: cos the HR software nearly killed another app when it was installed; we want to separate this **** from everyting else
<12> AlexD: well if its a db... the db is on the server the app is on teh client
<2> avi okay wmv i dont know
<8> If you looked at the way the DB was designed you'd puke
<12> AlexD: dbs dont run the apps they hodl the data
<12> AlexD: are you confusing the client app with the db
<8> No, but there's an app server on there too, which cocked up the box so badly you couldn't even reboot it.
<8> The client app was fine.
<12> well put that somewhere else then
<8> You can't. The twats that sold it to us said the app server has to be on the same box otherwise they wouldn't support it,
<8> If you're buying an HR system, avoid "Vizual" like the plague
<12> never heard of it
<12> that should tell ya something
<12> we use peoplesoft
<8> yeah, but the licence for that is like $20,000 initially isnt it? And you need an Oracle DB server?
<8> We have about 180 staff to manage, BTW
<12> no and no
<8> Cancel, if you can tell me how to get PS for under $5000 and if we run ir against MySQL or Firebird, and integrate with our LDAP directory I'd be very interested.
<12> AlexD: thats your job
<8> Heh.. I know. I've just spent two weeks arranging a new aircon unit for our comms area.
<12> i dont do that either
<12> someone elses job
<8> You a sysadmin or a developer?
<12> both
<12> but i'm not hvac guy
<12> i'll let stuff fail to get the cheque
<12> I demand satisfaction
<13> what's a hvac guy
<8> Heating Ventilation Air Con
<12> AlexD: oh its cool its 74 deg in my server room
<12> just someone elses job
<8> We only got a facilities manager 6 months ago. Finally I don't have to change f**king lightbulbs!
<12> dont do lightbulbs either
<8> Cancel, look, do you think it'd be worth getting the PeopleSoft chaps in for a company of our size (180 employees, about UKP 1.9m profit last year)?
<12> dunno
<12> all depends on how much it cost you and how much it saves you in using it
<8> Well, if HR stop bugging us it will be well worth it!
<12> like many corporate products packages big and small
<8> I want to evaluate some USB device blockers, sadly the first one I got a trial for requires IIS, the other one requires Active Directory. I'm now thinking Araldite in the sockets might be the cheapest way.
<8> We run a Samba 3 / LDAP domain BTW
<12> I dont worry about usb
<12> as folks still have all the ways they already had
<12> and if your policies are right its not much value added
<12> and we actually use the devices
<8> You didn't hear about the honeytrap where the analysts dropped trojaned USB keys outside an office and within a few minutes they were slurping up corporate data by the bucketload?
<12> I've heard of such
<12> which means you have bigger problems
<12> because face it sneaking usb keys arent the easy way to get trojans in
<12> which means your policies and procedures are deficient in other areas
<8> Well, yeah, I think an EMP pulse device on the door could be worth it.
<4> umm, who is stupid enough to run software they found on a usb key?
<12> AlexD: yes so we can kill the pdas and blackberrys and cells of everyone going in and out
<12> good idea
<8> Most people who think "ooh, shiny, free!!"
<12> randyg__: exactly
<12> randyg__: which folks run the same software when its in a web link or emailed to them
<8> Blackberry RimJobs, we call the,
<12> randyg__: so their policies are decifieant elsewhere
<4> "ooh, shiny, free, I wonder what happens if I run /mnt/usbkey/somerandombinaryfile?"
<12> and they have missed some big picture items
<12> randyg__: and if its linux even more moot they shouldnt be able to mount squat
<8> or e:/pron/***ygirl.jpg_________________________.exe
<12> and with other os's thats easily addressed with policies
<8> That's why I'm pushing for thin client computing
<4> umm, users should be able to mount whatever the hell they want. that's how you bring files from home to work, pick music to play, transfer photos of your kids to use as wallpaper, wtc.
<4> s/wtc/etc
<2> why mencoder test.wmv -o test.mpg -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -of mpeg is okay but it plays as fast in mplayer?
<12> randyg__: well ya shouldnt be bringing files from home to work or vice versa
<12> randyg__: and my desktops are locked even the wall paper
<14> frustum, welcome back! ;P
<8> Uhm, this is a corporate environment. We allow certain leeways but if peeps are compromising security then we've agreed it's a serious disciplinary offence (unless you are being sarcastic!)
<12> randyg__: as its not their pc its the companies company wallpaper :)
<12> randyg__: if they want to work from home they get on the appropriate terminal server
<15> I come for chess
<12> randyg__: dont be like the VA and loose records at someones house
<14> Better than trying to pick fights, frustum. Looks quite relaxed here now.
<8> We thing that some people spend 1/2 their day on ITunes!
<14> I'm bored. Slightly. ;P
<8> think
<14> I've always wondered how some people actually manage to do things like that, AlexD. The work offered them must be quite boring indeed, then.
